How I write: Guest Post for MFP

The Mother Freakin’ Princess (MFP) asked me to talk some about how I wrote Ripple, and the thing is, I’m about as anti-method and disorganized as a writer can be. And for the life of me, I can’t sit still or be quiet, and so while I write a book, I talk to everyone about it.

Some writers hole themselves up in their rooms and hide away their manuscripts right up until it’s time to show them to the world, but I think that’s incredibly selfish. Clearing throat. Uh, okay, I talk a lot and I tend to write by committee. Seriously.

Mostly, I talk to my husband. Every night, my family takes a walk together, and while the kids shove, elbow and er, walk in front of us, Travis and I walk and talk about our days. When I was writing Ripple, I would tell him about the latest plot twists or character problems. For example . . .
